A sad Case.

WAsHINGToN, July 29.-Thc secretary
of the Interior o.day denied the claim of
William Hedgspeth, ex-private In the
Forty second Indiana Volunteers. The
case is an uncommon one and has been
the subject of much discussion by pen.
sion officials. Hedgspeth was captured
in 1865 and confined as prisoner at
Andersonville. After remaining In cap.
tlyity five months he enlisted In the con
federAte army, he says. to escape starva-
ton, and SO informed his fellow prisoners,
and that al the first opportunity he would
desert, and II possible make his way
back to his old Command. After a
short service in the confederate army he
carried out this intention and finally
reached his regiment, in which he served
until discharged.
Some years ago Hedgspeth applied 70:
a pension on the ground OF disability
contracted while in the Federal service
This fact was fully sustain ed. The law
provides that no one who aided directly
or indirectly the enemies of the govern
ment in the late war shall be permitted
to draw pension. Hedgspeth's brie
connection with the coniedera:y made
him amenable to the law. His motive, /,
IS said, cannot be taken into considera-
ton. Opinions by the dozen, some
favorable and .others unfavorablc, have
b en- written upon the case by the differ
tht oihciais OF the Interior Department.
A. last. alter the lapse of years It reached
the Secretary of the Interior for final
action The papers in the case, which
are very Voiuminous, inc uce a strorg
protest against payment OF the pension

How to Reduce the surplus.

The increasing surplus in the United
States Treasury seems to be the man In
the mis-. that gives the Democratic
party trouble, and the party oAn see no
way out Of Its trouble except by , re-
duo ton OF the tariff. The In norease OF
rovenus must stop, but 1t must stop by
curtAiling the manufacture OF goods in
this country and by admitting more
foreign made goods free Of duty or
with such . low duty a. no. to be seri-
Gus hindrance to the importation OF
forelgn.made goods. This is the Demo
cratic plan for checking the flow OF
money into the Treasury Of the United
States. As an argumen: to back up
their plan they say that the necessaries
Of life will be cheaper, the poorer class
Of people can get cheaper hats, cheaper
shoes, cheaper clothing Of all kinds;
the farmer will ge. cheaper sgrioul-
tural implements and railroad com.
pAnies will get cheaper railroad iron,
cheaper ties and cheaper cars. Dsmo.
cratic argument should 60 farther and
say that oil labor employers would get
cheaper labor. That in the end would
be the inevitable result, And that seems
to be the objeot most to be desired.
Reduce the surplus say the Democrats
by reducing the revenue, and why not
farther cay by reducing labor wages?
II never seems to strike the Democratic
mind that there are plans by which the
surplus can be reduced without o raid
upon the industries OF the country.
They never once sesm to think OF the
need Of internal Improvements by
which labor could be p-ofi ably EN- =
ployed. They never think thAt there
are rivers that could be msde nayigs-
BILE. harbors to be despsned and male
more secure from stor ms, and coast de-
fences needed to protest the country
from the rsvages OF war II II should be-
attacked by foreign powers. L: never
oocurs to them that the INDECENT sol.
diers who were the strong right arm Of
che defence OF the nation in Its hour OF
trouble are entitled to Q portion OF this
surplus. They never stop TO think that
the constant flow OF money into the
treasury could be materially checked
by reducing or entirely removing the
taxes on home manufactured goods
While these same ID DsmocrAts would re-.
duce the taxes upon foreign manufac.
tuved goods and would ad limit item free
OF duty into this country, they are per-
sistent that the taxes upon seyerA! i'm
portAnt articles Of home mauuiacture
shall not be interiersd with. Their
princi pies, IL carried out, could no. be
more intmicAl to our own governmen. |.
than II formulated by the British Par.
Lament. Lst the surplus 60 for nter-
nal Improvements. for buildlng post
ON ,es and custom houses; for deepen. :.
Ing rivers and hsrbors, for siren zthen
ing coast defences, for building vessels
OF defence, and for pensioninx indigsnt +
soldiers; then there would be 10 osass
OF complaint for 81 increase Of the
treasury surplus. There should be only
one side to question like this in this
country, and blind is the man to his
own Interests who cannot gee tha: p.o-
tection is the only true safeguard 90 .he
